Richard Ferrand, proposed by French President Emmanuel Macron to chair the Constitutional Council, attends a Law Committee hearing at the National Assembly. While the Les Republicains (LR) MPs have already made it clear that they will vote against his appointment, the Rassemblement National (RN) MPs are keeping the suspense alive, and the LR senators, who hold the key to the ballot, will have a free vote. If all 122 MPs were to vote, 74 votes would be needed to prevent the appointment. IMAGES
